Despite the release of Rayman Origins last week, some people just can’t get enough Rayman in their lives. Well people who just can’t get enough of the strange guy will be happy to hear they will soon be seeing him again in HD glory, though not in a brand new title per say. Ubisoft has revealed that they will be releasing Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc on the XBLA and PSN during the Spring of 2012.

The title was originally released on the original Xbox and PS2 and this version will receive an “all-new high-definition makeover,” and is “updated to run at 60 frames per second and offers improved audio quality.” No price has been announced at this time, but players can expect it to hover around the $10/800MSP to $15/1200MSP range.

Unlike his more popular counterpart, Robin doesn’t seem to like to get his own hands dirty with all of the blood that would come out of most guys if you punched them as hard as you seem to in Batman: Arkham City. Instead he uses his staff to deal out the pain as you can see in the below trailer which provides us our first good luck at the boy wonder.

Batman: Arkham City’s Robin DLC package is out today and with it comes Robin himself of course, two challenge maps which are called the Black Mask Hideout and Freight Train Escape as well as a Red Robin and Batman: The Animated Series skin. So who do you prefer to play as, Batman, Catwoman or now Robin?

New BioWare title to be revealed at Spike’s VGA

Ruh roh. It seems that BioWare has been working on another title that doesn’t pertain to their Mass Effect or Dragon Age series of games, and this one may be a bit more upsetting for some of their die hard fans. Spike TV has released a bit of a teaser to help promote their 2011 VGA which will air on December 10th and in this teaser they reveal that there will be an unveiling for a new BioWare title.

The BioWare title is supposed to be “a new direction, a new game, from a new BioWare studio” which isn’t exactly what most people want. In the latter half of the video we see what looks like a more modern (generic) first person shooter setting where the player blows up a tank. Hopefully it will look more promising after we see the full reveal next month.

Sony of Japan revealed when gamers in Japan can expect to pick up one of the most interesting looking PS Vita titles that I have seen so far. To be more specific, they have announced the release date for Gravity Daze, also known as Gravity Rush. That release date is February 9th and will be priced at ¥5,980 for retail and ¥4,900 as a download. The title will also require the use of a memory card to play.

Those who pick up the slightly more expensive retail version will receive a bonus comic, an illustrated booklet and a few other unlisted bonuses which will be revealed as the release date comes closer. Now while this release date is obviously out of launch range for Japan, it fits perfectly for a potential launch title for the rest of the world if they can localize the title quick enough.

In case you didn’t feel like picking RAGE up when it was released a few months ago now you have a chance to give it a try without even having to purchase the title. Well, you’ll be able to try a small part at least. Bethesda has released a RAGE demo on the Xbox Live Marketplace which can be obtained here, though you should make sure you have plenty of room on your hard drive as it takes up 2.03GB to install.

Players will have access to the Well mission, try out a few mini-games, explore the city of Wellsprings and even try out a few races which means you’ll get a taste of everything RAGE has to offer. Those with PlayStation 3s will need to wait until December 6th for the demo to appear on the PSN.

2K Games just released the first trailer for Spec Ops: The Line.

Once a spectacle of astonishment, the city of Dubai now lies in ruin from a cataclysmic sandstorm. Most people tried to flee the ruins, but there are some that cannot escape the devastation. U.S. Colonel John Konrad as well as the rest of the 33rd Infantry stayed in Dubai to find the survivors. We haven’t been in contact with the Colonel in 6 months…

We thought everyone to be dead in the sandcastle of Dubai, but we found a weak distress signal coming from within the city. I want you, Captain Walker, and your squad to investigate the signal’s location and locate any survivors.

I must finally warn you soldier of the madness that you will endure. Even soldiers aren’t immune to the effects of confusion, exhaustion, and most importantly decisions. You will occasionally find yourself walking a razor sharp line between your mission and duty. Tread carefully soldier.

Check out the first trailer for Spec Ops: The Line below, and stay tuned for further updates by checking out the Official Website.

Sega release tutorial trailer for CRUSH3D

Anyone who enjoys a good brain tickler, and is looking for a new challenge will revel in Sega’s quirky new puzzle game CRUSH3D coming soon to Nintendo’s 3DS. If you were wondering what the title of the game refers to, it’s the concept of “crushing” the on-screen environment from three dimensions to two dimensions in order to solve certain puzzles and escape the area. Along the way, Danny must also collect as many marbles as he can in order to unlock the gates to the next level.

This looks like a really cool concept along the lines of what we saw in Paper Mario on the Wii, and as well as being graphically pleasing, also looks to be exceptionally challenging. While you cant see the 3D coming into play in the trailer and I’m sure it would greatly enhance gameplay, it looks fun enough to play without it turned. Information has been flying around about CRUSH3D for quite a while and it is scheduled to be released early 2012.

Enjoy the trailer and stay tuned for more Crush3D news.
